Trigg Minerals is well-positioned to become a globally significant supplier of antimony, a critical mineral essential to the defense, clean energy and semiconductor sectors. Backed by a strategic focus, a supportive jurisdiction, and timing that aligns with macroeconomic urgency, Trigg is uniquely placed to deliver value from the ground up.
Trigg Minerals (ASX:TMG,OTCQB:TMGLF) is an emerging leader in the global critical minerals space, focused exclusively on the development of antimony—a metal designated as essential by the United States, Australia and the European Union for its role in national defense, energy transition technologies, and advanced industrial applications. The company’s flagship asset, the Wild Cattle Creek deposit within the Achilles antimony project in New South Wales, is the highest-grade undeveloped antimony resource in Australia and one of the few large-scale, standalone antimony projects globally. As geopolitical and industrial dynamics shift, Trigg Minerals is uniquely positioned to provide a secure, sovereign source of antimony to Western markets, amid a continuing global supply crunch.
In 2024, China—responsible for 83 percent of global production—imposed a complete export ban on antimony products to the US, following earlier restrictions on powdered forms. Combined with sanctions on Russian producers and the depletion of strategic stockpiles across NATO and allied nations, these developments have triggered a severe global supply shortage. Spot prices have surged to over US$51,000 per tonne—more than double their 2023 average—underscoring the urgent need for alternative sources.
Antimony spans a wide range of applications. It is a critical component in flame retardants, semiconductors, night vision optics, military alloys, solar panel coatings, and battery technologies. Demand is accelerating, particularly in the defense and renewable energy sectors, with a projected CAGR of 6.1 percent. However, viable new supply is extremely limited outside of China and its allies, presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity for companies like Trigg to fill the gap and anchor Western critical mineral supply chains.
Trigg’s growth strategy is built around three key points. First, the company is advancing a high-impact resource expansion program at Wild Cattle Creek, aiming to increase its current JORC-compliant resource of 1.52 million tons (Mt) @ 1.97 percent antimony for 29,902 tonnes contained metal to more than 100,000 tonnes—potentially making it one of the top three antimony deposits in the world. Second, Trigg is capitalizing on the structural shift in global supply chains. With a Tier-1 jurisdiction, ESG-aligned operations, and backing from government incentives, the company is ideally placed to serve downstream processors and strategic buyers, particularly in the U.S. and allied nations seeking to reduce reliance on Chinese-controlled supply. Third, Trigg is maintaining disciplined and focused execution. Over 90 percent of capital and operational resources are allocated to advancing Wild Cattle Creek, ensuring near-term value creation.
Trigg Minerals’ flagship asset is the Wild Cattle Creek (WCC) deposit, located within its Achilles antimony project in northern New South Wales. Hosting a JORC 2012-compliant mineral resource of 1.52 Mt @ 1.97 percent antimony for 29,902 tonnes of contained metal, WCC is Australia’s highest-grade undeveloped antimony resource and among the most significant globally. The deposit lies along the Bielsdown Fault, a 6 km underexplored mineralised corridor within the New England Orogen—a prolific metallogenic belt.
Geologically, the deposit is hosted in a steeply dipping, silicified breccia lode bounded by metasedimentary rocks. The high-grade core (>2 percent antimony) extends 350 metres down plunge, is exposed at surface, and maintains an average true width of ~20 metres—ideal for future underground bulk mining. The current mineral resource estimate is conservative, focused on cemented breccia zones, but upcoming drilling will include the broader tungsten-antimony stockwork and disseminated stibnite-bearing mineralisation, potentially widening the mining envelope to more than 15 metres. The system is also enriched in tungsten, mercury and gold, with 30 regional gas and geochemical targets identified. Historic hits such as 1.3 m @ 11.8 percent antimony at the Jezebel prospect underscore the broader potential.
Trigg’s near-term strategy is simple and high-impact: secure land access, initiate an aggressive drilling program, and grow the antimony resource to more than 100,000 tonnes. Drilling contracts are in place, target zones have been defined, and land access negotiations are nearing completion, with execution anticipated in mid-2025. With China’s dominance being actively challenged by the West, Trigg offers timely, scalable exposure to a critical mineral that is scarce in nature and increasingly strategic.
Taylors Arm is a high-grade antimony district with more than 80 historic workings across seven known mining camps. Samples have returned grades of more than 50 percent antimony, including 63 percent at the Testers Mine—the highest antimony assay on record in Australia. The project also hosts silver grades more than 840 grams per ton (g/t0 and gold up to 24 g/t, indicating a polymetallic system with strong exploration upside. Trigg is conducting early-stage work to refine targets for follow-up drilling.
Located adjacent to the Hillgrove antimony-gold operation (Australia’s largest known antimony deposit), Spartan is strategically situated along the Hillgrove Fault and shares geological characteristics with the adjoining high-grade system. Early exploration has confirmed structural continuity and polymetallic potential, particularly for stibnite-gold veining. Spartan complements Trigg’s core project with near-mine growth opportunities.
Trigg recently secured new exploration tenements across the Nundle, Upper Hunter, and Cobark/Copeland regions, all highly prospective for gold-antimony mineralisation. These projects, located within structurally complex terrains analogous to Achilles, will be progressively advanced as part of Trigg’s long-term project pipeline strategy.
Tim Morrison is a highly experienced executive in the Australian resource and capital markets sector. With a background in law and investment banking, Morrison has held senior roles in both private and public resource companies, including those focused on critical minerals, base metals, and energy. His leadership at Trigg is defined by a clear strategic focus: unlock value from the Wild Cattle Creek deposit and position the company as a cornerstone in the global antimony supply chain. Morrison brings extensive experience in stakeholder engagement, project financing, and government relations, having previously led funding rounds, IPOs, and major project negotiations across multiple jurisdictions. His vision for Trigg is underpinned by a disciplined growth strategy and sovereign supply positioning.
Jonathan King is a seasoned geologist with over 20 years of experience in mineral exploration and resource development. He has worked across a broad range of commodities including antimony, gold, copper, and rare earths, and has been instrumental in leading exploration teams across Australia, Southeast Asia and Africa. At Trigg, King is responsible for designing and executing the company’s exploration programs, including the upcoming high-impact drill campaign at Wild Cattle Creek. His technical leadership ensures that resource expansion is driven by rigorous geoscientific methodology, with a focus on unlocking district-scale potential across the broader Achilles project area.
Andre Booyzen is an experienced mine operator and leader and has 25+ years of experience in operational, senior and executive roles, and is a specialist in antimony mining. He brings extensive experience in mine development, operational strategy, and off-take agreements. Booyzen previously served vice-president of Mandalay Resources (TSX:MND, OTCQB:MNDJF), where he had full strategic and operational control including product sales, off takes and funding negotiations at the Costerfield gold-antimony mine in Victoria, currently Australia’s only producer of antimony concentrate. Booyzen also served on the board of the Minerals Council of Australia (Victoria) for more than five years and was chairman for three of those.
Bishoy Habib holds a Bachelor’s in Applied Science (Software Eng) and has been a global investor for more than a decade, with a particular focus in the resources sector. He is a qualified and experienced leader, with over 15 years’ project delivery and management experience in large multinational organisations. Habib has a strong understanding of the resources sector, with access to a wide-reaching network and project delivery expertise across Africa, the Middle East, Europe and South America.
Nicholas Katris has over 15 years of experience in corporate advisory and public company management, having begun his career as a chartered accountant. He has been actively involved in the financial management of public companies within the mineral and resources sector, holding roles on both the board and executive management teams. His expertise spans the advancement and development of mineral resource assets, as well as business development. Throughout his career, Katris has worked across Australia, Africa, Brazil and Canada, gaining extensive experience in financial reporting, capital raising, and treasury management for resource companies. He currently serves as company secretary for Leeuwin Metals (ASX:LM1) and Perpetual Resources (ASX:PEC).

June 30, 2025 TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (the " Company ") (CSE: BLLG; OTCQB: BLAGF; FSE: 7BL) is pleased to provide a corporate update highlighting significant progress at its Dome Mountain Gold Project as it prepares to enter production in a strong gold market.
"We are fully funded, fully permitted, and now entering the final stages of mine readiness — with no short-term debt, multiple successful government inspections, and a water treatment plant that has now been completed," said Rana Vig, President and CEO. "The confidence shown by our institutional investors, along with new strategic backing and the recently signed $2 million line of credit — not secured against our property — from Nicola Mining, gives us the flexibility to fund mining and development without delay. We're ready — and we're moving quickly toward cash flow."
FULLY FUNDED WITH STRONG BACKING AND NO DEBT
Blue Lagoon recently completed a successful non-brokered financing, fully subscribed by existing long-term shareholders including Crescat Capital, Phoenix Gold Fund, and Nicola Mining, alongside a small group of new strategic investors. In addition, CEO Rana Vig and Board Member Gurdeep Bains both increased their personal stakes in the Company.
The Company currently carries no short-term debt and has in-the-money warrants valued at over $3.6 million. As further validation of the project, Blue Lagoon has secured a $2 million line of credit from Nicola Mining, which can be drawn in $500,000 tranches — without any encumbrance on the Company's mineral property. While the Company may ultimately never need to draw on this facility, having access to it provides an important financial backstop. It ensures capital is available if needed to support production ramp-up, seize opportunity, or manage any unforeseen short-term needs — all without causing further dilution to existing shareholders.
SENIOR UNDERGROUND GEOLOGIST HIRED TO
The Company is also pleased to welcome Michael McCardal as Senior Underground Geologist. Mr. McCardal brings three decades of underground gold mining experience with producers including Ascot Resources, Barkerville Gold Mines, Pure Gold Mining, and Kirkland Lake Gold.
At Ascot's Big Missouri deposit, he led underground sampling protocols, grade tracking, and stope planning. At Kirkland Lake's Macassa and Taylor Mines, he was instrumental in ore control, face mapping, and production reconciliation.
"Mike's experience will be very helpful in establishing best-in-class grade control and optimizing early stopes as we move into production this summer," said Vig.
INSPECTIONS PASSED WITH FLYING COLOURS
As part of its final mine preparation, the Company successfully passed three separate government inspections, confirming operational readiness across critical areas:
• Electrical Inspection – Verifying compliance with site-wide above and underground power systems.
• Reclamation & Geoscience Inspection – Reviewing on-going geological reporting and reclamation progress.
• Ground Control & Health and Safety Inspection – Ensuring safe above and underground conditions and mining procedures.
"These clean inspections are a testament to the strength of our team and the standard of work being done at Dome Mountain," said Yannis Tsitos, Chair of the Company's mining committee.
 CONSTRUCTOIN OF WATER TREATMENT PLANT COMPLETE
Construction of Blue Lagoon's water treatment system — a critical component of the Company's environmental compliance plan — is now complete and partially commissioned, as required under the Company's Mines Act permit.
The system consists of two integrated technologies: a High-Density Sludge (HDS) circuit, which is fully installed and operational, and a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) , designed to treat ammonia and nitrates from blasting residues using a microbial process. The MBBR circuit has also been fully constructed and is about to undergo microbial activation — a biological ramp-up that typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Designed to meet all regulatory discharge standards, the plant is engineered to treat mine water efficiently and in full alignment with the Company's permit conditions. Blue Lagoon worked closely with Soren Jensen , the Company's principal environmental consultant from SRK Consulting. Mr. Jensen holds a master's degree in chemical engineering and has developed, designed, commissioned, and operated mine water treatment systems for mining operations for over 20 years, including similar treatment plants at other underground gold mines in Northern Canada.
Just as importantly, the Company collaborated closely with regulatory agencies and the Lake Babine Nation throughout the design and construction process to ensure the system meets both technical and community expectations.
With the construction of the water treatment system complete and regulatory milestones achieved, the Company is advancing mine development activities in accordance with its permit. Â Environmental monitoring will continue during the MBBR activation phase to ensure ongoing compliance as the system reaches full operational capacity.
This milestone represents a major step toward production readiness and reinforces Blue Lagoon's commitment to responsible, permit-driven development. The official mine opening is scheduled for July 9, 2025.
About Blue Lagoon Resources Inc.

Vancouver, BC TheNewswire June 30, 2025 - Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE: ELEM | FSE: 7YS0 | OTC: ELMGF) ("Element79" or the "Company") announces its forward corporate guidance for the remainder of 2025, outlines recent strategic developments regarding its Lucero Project in Peru, and reaffirms its operational focus on its advanced-stage projects in Nevada, USA.
Force Majeure Declared on Lucero Project
The Company formally invoked the force majeure clause under its agreement with Condor Resources Inc. with respect to the Lucero Project due to a combination of social, regulatory, and political barriers which have effectively prevented the Company from lawfully executing planned exploration and development activities, despite holding full mineral rights.
A force majeure event refers to unforeseen circumstances beyond a party's control—such as acts of government, social unrest, or natural disasters—that prevent contractual obligations from being fulfilled. In the case of Lucero, the following factors have contributed to the declaration:
Evolving and inconsistent Peruvian federal policies on small-scale mining formalization, creating uncertainty in legal enforceability and timelines.
Political instability and leadership vacuums , with current municipal governance in Chachas in transition and the outgoing mayor largely absent from the community.
Legacy community mistrust and unmet promises from prior owners, complicating local engagement efforts.
Ongoing unauthorized artisanal mining by community members operating outside legal frameworks and without formalized agreements.
Element79 has spent two and a half years of extensive, evolving efforts to foster community relationships and negotiate access agreements in good faith, and the Company believes in developing a win-win solution with the Chachas community for the restart of the past-producing Lucero mine, the tailings and development of a regional processing plant, and exploring the geological assets inside the Lucero concessions. Â The Company and its contracted financial consultants remain staunchly optimistic to fund future development at Lucero as agreements for surface rights agreements are reached. Â In the short-term, internal reports and formal feedback from its social engagement team (GAE Peru) and regional mining authorities (DREM Arequipa) suggest that no material progress toward surface rights agreements is likely for the remainder of 2025.
Path Toward Resolution and Reworking Terms with Condor Resources
Over the next 12 months, Element79 will:
Continue monitoring regulatory developments, particularly the anticipated implementation of MAPE legislation , which may clarify formalization mechanisms between artisanal miners and mineral right holders.
Maintain social outreach campaigns in Chachas through the Company's social engagement team, GAE Peru, preparing the groundwork for ongoing engagement pre- and post-municipal elections in early 2026
Continue ongoing dialogue with Condor Resources to explore restructuring the terms of the original Lucero agreement, with the goal of establishing a more reasonable, flexible and mutually beneficial framework as on-the-ground conditions allow for meaningful work to resume at Lucero.
Strategic Focus Shift to Nevada Projects
In line with this operational pivot, Element79 is reaffirming its near-term focus on its U.S.-based assets:
The Company will retain and advance development at the Elephant Project in Nevada. A technical report to formally organize historical work under the 43-101 framework, upcoming work plan and exploration campaign are currently being finalized and will be publicly disclosed shortly.
The acquisition of the Gold Mountain Project , a drill-ready asset also located in Nevada, is expected to close as soon as possible, pending administrative timelines surrounding Canada Day and U.S. Independence Day holidays. A comprehensive development plan will be issued thereafter.
As Element79 aligns its capital and human resources to near-term executable projects, the Company remains committed to:
Unlocking shareholder value through strategic asset optimization.
De-risking its project portfolio by prioritizing jurisdictions with clear permitting paths.
Continuing stakeholder engagement to support long-term success at Lucero when conditions become viable.
Changes to the board of directors and management to reflect the evolving business model
About Element79 Gold Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC TheNewswire - June 27, 2025 Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE: ELEM | FSE: 7YS0 | OTC: ELMGF) (" Element79 Gold ", the " Company ") today announced that it has provided a notice of force majeure (" Notice ") to Condor Resources Inc. (" Condor ") to temporarily suspend payment obligations under the Lucero Project Agreement entered into between Calipuy Resources Inc. (" Calipuy "), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Condor on December 21, 2020 (the " Lucero Agreement ").
The Company has faced significant difficulties in advancing the Lucero Project since the acquisition of Calipuy on June 19, 2022. As a result of conflicts with the local community, significant delays of relevant governmental authorities to act on necessary legislation and policies, and municipal inaction preventing the enforcement of mineral claims, Element79 has been unable to access the Lucero Project and perform exploration or commercial mining operations (" Force Majeure Event "). As such, the Company provided the Notice to Condor today to suspend payment obligations until the sooner of the end of the Force Majeure Event or twenty-four (24) months from the date of the Notice. At this time, the Company is uncertain as to when the Force Majeure Event will cease.
Element79 remains committed to advancing the Lucero Project and developing the Lucero Project into a commercially viable mining operation. The Company is currently in the process of pursuing alternatives to push the Project forward and work collaboratively with stakeholders to end the Force Majeure Event. The Company will continue to update stakeholders as the situation develops, as and when appropriate.
